This plant is from New Holland: it has 
been cultivated for some years in this coun- 
try, and flowers during the summer. The 
blossoms have a slight smell, not very plea- 
sant. It requires to be kept in the green- 
house in winter, and may be increased by 
parting the roots: the soil should be peat 
earth and loam.
